The Mukaway materials management application, having already made headway with house-builders, can now claim HBC 萝莉原创 (formerly Henry Boot) as its first major construction contractor.
MukAway is a digital platform that matches sites with surplus soil to those that need it.聽 Users include Vistry, Barratt, Bellway and Keepmoat.
But the addition of HBC 萝莉原创 is regarded as a strategic step change for MukAway. The addition of a major contractor opens the network to the contracting sector at scale, the app developer says, unlocking a level of cross-industry collaboration that has not previously been possible.
MukAway chief executive Fraser Linaker said: "This is the partnership we have been working towards. We've been proud to work with some of the biggest housebuilders in the country, and our civil engineering relationships have grown strongly but a full construction solution requires contractors at the table and HBC 萝莉原创 brings exactly that.鈥�
HBC 萝莉原创 managing director Lee Powell said: "MukAway has created a digital platform to enable a level of collaboration between contractors and housebuilders that has never been seen. This will transform contracting industries and significantly reduce our cost base whilst delivering real sustainable reductions in waste to landfill. With a low subscription fee, MukAway is simply a no-brainer decision."
Linaker added: "Lee and his team understood immediately what MukAway can do for their business and for the wider industry. They鈥檝e made a commitment to doing things differently. The commercial case is clear, the environmental case is undeniable, and the fact that a business of HBC's standing has made this move will send a very strong signal to the rest of the contracting sector. We expect others to follow."
